Good looking Gronos

The Grono lamp is definitely a hacker favourite. Its smooth rectangle shape opens it to lots of possibilities. Here are a few.

Decoupage a GronoIngalill spent half an hour pimping this lamp. She found the picture and printed it, découpage it on and finished with a coat of varnish.

Have a Grono pARTy
Jen of Painted Fish Studio threw a pARTy, where her friends gather at her house and make an art/craft project. The object in the limelight was the Grono and at the end of the evening, out came a delightful array of Grono lamps, pimped to perfection.

Paper is used as the main decorative element, stuck onto the lamp with gel matte medium – which takes longer to dry but more forgiving when it comes to placement than glue.

Hi!! I loved the knitted lace lamp! Can you please send me the pattern on my email [email protected] ? I would love to make it for an old frame sitting in my dorm room 🙂 Would really appreciate your help!

I love the adaptability of these lamps, but didn’t like the way the light is concentrated in the center. I found that a single sheet of blank office paper rolled up and dropped into the lamp is an excellent diffuser.

Thanks so much for your compliments on my knitted lamp.You can get a german version of the pattern at http://www.wollerey.de . The lamp is named “Candela”.Or you wait until this evening after work and I will translate the pattern into English exclusevely and for free for ikeahacker friends.Michaela

The picture is of the mosque in Touba, Senegal. It’s the largest mosque in Africa, and muslims in Africa go there more often than to Mecca… My husband is from that town, so it was a little gift to him.
